We provide day services that promote independence and full immersion in the community for people with disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Down syndrome, learning disabilities, and brain injuries. The programs are goal-oriented and focus in on life skills and employment skills. Clinical interventions such as nursing, physical & occupational therapy, speech/language therapy, and behavioral supports are available, if needed, in combination with our daily activities. Two or more services may be combined to create a meaningful program, tailored to the needs and interests of each individual. Day services are based at our 22 Parkridge Rd location in Haverhill, Massachusetts and typically run from 8:30am-2:30pm. Three programs are offered: Community Based Day Services (CBDS), Day Habilitation, and Day Services for Acquired Brain Injuries.
